Doc. Pierce, who came in from Red
Canyon last week reports that three
bands of Indians. two of Sioux and one
of Chevcnnes, about thirty i'm all, are on
a hunting expedition in that locality.
Doc says they appear to be very friend
ly but are possessed of an uncontroll-
able desire to steal articles of food and
clothing from the cabins of miners en-
ployedin developing the coal beds there.
One day last week Frank Booth killed
two deer iii close proximity to the
camp and while carrying the carcass
of one to the cabin the other was quiet
ly consigned by the thieving "I4o'' to
their own lardcr. Doc intimatcs that
that if the Indians persist in roblng
the miners of THAR har,l-earnel and
scanty supply of rations that fricasseed
Sioux and Cheyenne Il la mode
will constitute the principle article of
food.
